read more books
I've been trying to read some books again lately, but it's just so hard. with all those never ending words and no pictures..I'll just end up with more manga haha
moreover, books, to me, tend to be a one-timer. once you read it, you're done with it. it's so rare that I feel the need to read a book for the second time (except for Tuesdays with Morrie). it's such a waste for all those money..I know..so cheap of me!

just watch the dorama
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (HanaKimi)
known as For You in Full Blossom in english, this manga is basically a story about Mizuki Ashiya, who moved all the way from the U.S. to an all-boys-school in Japan to encourage Sano Izumi, a popular high jump athlete who quitted, to start high-jumping again.. Oh did I mention that Mizuki Ashiya is actually a girl?

There are a total of 23 volume of this shoujo-comedy-manga. The first 10 volumes are still interesting, the whole Mizuki pretending to be a guy student and oh oh-will-she-be-caught-moments and all..but then it started to get reaally nagging and loong...and endless. Here it's still going on volume 14 and I'm already bored.

treasure finding
yesterday i found a small public library near where i live. most importantly, this place has quite a collection of manga to rent. yaay!!!
i love buying things (hey who doesn't?), and i love collecting manga. i don't borrow by the way. i don't rent. it's just ... such a joy when i find a good manga and collect them. i'm such a nerd.
the problem is, every month, almost twenty something manga titles are being published. and it's only from one publisher! so it's pretty hard to keep up...thus the concept of renting suddenly sounds so beautiful to my ears.
behold my first rent :

basically, it's crap. sorry.
i don't wanna say much about the story. just imagine that movie Entrapment, the junior high version.
i was first attracted to the drawing, it looks cute with plenty of chibi and weird faces around. but that stops there. the characters are average, the pace is too quick in building the drama. the conversations don't intrigue me and somehow the exaggeration about three junior high students being high class thieves doesn't fit in well.
volume 5 is on the way, but i just can't relate.
